Los Angeles, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd May, 2018 ) :Two hundred professors at one of California's top universities on Tuesday demanded the resignation of the school's president over a widening sexual abuse scandal involving a campus gynecologist.
The faculty members of the University of Southern California (USC) said they wanted to "express their outrage and disappointment over the mounting evidence of president (C.L. Max) Nikias' failure to protect our students, our staff, and our colleagues from repeated and pervasive sexual harassment and misconduct." In a letter to the board of trustees, the professors said Nikias had lost the "moral authority" to lead the university or to lead an investigation into decades of alleged sexual abuse by George Tyndall, a gynecologist formerly employed at the school.
"USC kept a physician in a position of power and trust who abused that power and trust to sexually assault and degrade women students, targeting for abuse the most vulnerable international and minority students," the letter says.
"The university's conduct is as much at issue in this case as the physician's," it added. The scandal erupted last week after the Los Angeles Times published a lengthy investigation detailing years of alleged sexual abuse of students by Tyndall while he worked at the school.
